It’s Groban’s third chart-topper following 2003’s Closer and 2007’s Noel, and the singer admitted he might have something to do with the sales boost.

“It’s tradition, as soon as it’s available for pre-order, I order one,” he explained. “It’s the least I can do for myself.”

The singer added that he probably only gets 50 cents from his $10 purchase, but “it’s worth it.”

When his 2001 self-titled debut, came out he said he went to a Virgin Mega Store in California and praised his own work, using a fake accent so the salesperson wouldn’t recognize him. Though he admits, she had no idea who he was, even insinuating she asked, “Josh Brolin sings?” before heading to the warehouse to find his album.

Now he just has fun moving his album to a more prominent place on the shelves. “Bieber, Groban, close enough,” he joked.
